Thank you both. It's hard to walk by these flowers without falling in! #1422242

Marie Fields June 02, 2005

Beautiful image, Lajla! How did you find out the name of it? I have the same flower in my garden and the plant tag called it "orange symphony" now I'm wondering if it was the wrong tag...? #1422254

Hi Marie,

The Latin name for these flowers is Osteospernum which is not nearly as appealing a name as African Daisy, a nickname I found at one nursery last year. I'm told that they're a relatively new species. I grew them last year and they bloomed profusely all late spring and summer AND they drip beautifully out of pots and windowboxes; a really great find by all flower-loving standards.

Cheers,

Lajla #1422276
